| 1 | My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee, | My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, | My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, | |
| 2 | That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: Incline thy heart to know prudence: | making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; | turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— | |
| 3 | For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence: | yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, | indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, | |
| 4 | If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure: | if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, | and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, | |
| 5 | Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God. | then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. | then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. | |
